RE: Password Protection

Hi Susie

Thank you for your question; and apologies for the delay in coming back to you with a response.

You have several options depending on how you want the protection applied. You can either make the file read-only or save your Visio file as a web page if you want to ensure no-one makes changes to your original drawing.

Otherwise if you want to allow others to edit/make changes to certain parts of the document, you can apply protection to some parts of a drawing.

For more information on all these options, I'll refer you to the Microsoft web site:

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Visio tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Visio 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Visio 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
